Call for Proposals: Swiss Open Research Data Grants

To foster Open Research Data (ORD) practices, swissuniversities and the ETH Domain are jointly organizing the Swiss Open Research Data Grants. The program supports bottom-up initiatives for ORD practices, across all disciplines and higher education institutions in Switzerland. Proposals should be submitted to one of three specific tracks: 

• Track A Explore projects: submission deadline 1 August 2022 (first call), max 150’000 CHF (including matching funds), duration up to 18 months
• Track B Establish projects: submission deadline for pre proposals 1 July 2022, max 1.5 Mio CHF (including matching funds), duration up to 24 months
• Track C Contribute projects: submission deadline 1 December 2022 (first call), max 30’000 CHF (including matching funds), duration up to 12 months

Application guidelines for the track B pre-proposal call, which opened last week, can be found here. It is expected that the call for track A will open at the end of June. More information and details to track A and C will be released by swissuniversities continuously.

Please be aware that the program is financed by the PgB program of the SERI (projektgebundene Beiträge nach HFKG) and therefore requires matching funds and the collaboration with members of other higher education institutions in Switzerland.
